The key to Fable II's charm, suggests the Globe & Mail, is a sense of humour so genuine that it will earn belly laughs from anyone who shares it. From the story:
"A funny--that's funny strange, not funny ha-ha--thing happened amid all my chuckles. In hopes of finding a few more laughs, I started really listening to the game's dialogue. What's more, I actually took the time to search for and leaf through random books that exposited the history of Albion and its characters. In other words, I was unconsciously seeking to create a deeper connection between myself and the game world.
This is a desire that game makers have struggled (and usually failed) to elicit from the people who play their creations since the invention of the medium. Humour, it turns out, is a clever and effective means of making players sheath their swords for a few minutes and take an interest in a game's story and writing."

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
Fable 2 is not AAA.Where is your God now,xbot lemmings?
